REVIEWS:

Deceptively breezy and rather ingenious. The whole enterprise is kind of dopey and kind of invigorating and kind of remarkable. It will slash and shapeshift its way into your heart.

The New York Times

Packed with action, wit, and a sizable nerd-quotient, the production is a delight from start to finish

Theatremania

Positively slays the audience. Delightfully farcical.

Stage & Cinema

Nguyen is a refreshing, break-the-rules writer — he has a ready embrace of pop culture, high-school speak and 'High Fidelity' cool, and he also has a mission to redeem gaming geeks everywhere...She Kills Monsters, delivers exactly what it promises, is generally a blast
